Web-FTP hanging

[dbrooke]

Hello,

It appears proftpd is running (when I do a netstat) but I can't connect to it with ISPConfig's "Web-FTP" and running some debugging reveals some sort of error:

Thanks for any help on this!

Please post the content of the /etc/hosts file and the proftpd.conf file, comments stripped.

Well, I see some logical changes I should make on both those suggestions... however, since you took the time to reply... these are the exact files and I would sure appreciate your comments on what to change!

I am thinking:
/etc/hosts/
Get rid of:
'127.0.1.1 ubuntu.elatia.net ubuntu'

/proftpd.conf
Change:
UseIPv6 on
ServerName "UbuntuServ"

(not sure on ServerName... "UbuntuServ" is the name of my server...
"ubuntu" is the host name... not sure which to use)

Thanks for your comments!

O.K., this morning I realized that I could now connect to "Web-FTP" (ISPConfig). I think it was a simple mistake of not knowing how to work ISPConfig... as one has to set up a site to manage first.

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ubuntu.elatia.net
127.0.1.1 ubuntu.elatia.net ubuntu
10.0.1.200 ubuntu.elatia.net ubuntu

Also I don't find wise that you use the same hostname (ubuntu.elatia.net) in 3 different places. The following setup would be sufficient and much clearer:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.0.1.200 ubuntu.elatia.net ubuntu
